In one of those videos you can catch in youtube, which I’m featuring below, Revillame had as contestants aspiring comedians. Yet, instead of encouraging or helping them in their careers (doesn’t ABS-CBN like to brandish Revillame as a bleeding heart?), he insults them one by one.

And that’s how Revillame gets his laughter, by insulting his fellow Filipinos. The tragedy is that these contestants will allow themselves to be insulted in the hope that they’ll win huge amounts of moolah. It becomes doubly tragic when they don’t win.

Do the big bosses of ABS-CBN know about this? They would be stupid not to. Do they tolerate it? Of course! Because it earns them huge amounts of moolah as well.

In the aftermath of the infamous Wowowee stampede where over 70 people died, ABS-CBN top brass Charo Concio sought to justify the label that Wowowee was a mendicancy-promoting show by saying that a percentage of Wowowee earnings go to charity. In other words, the ends justify the means. So what if they exploit and insult poor people?

That’s a Machiavellian concept. It also hides the inherent greed of ABS-CBN.

So are they going to get rid of Wowowee and the obnoxious Revillame? Not a chance! It’s easier to ask for the moon.

What ABS-CBN will do is they’ll have Revillame lie low for some time. Then they’ll come up with 30 seconder clips extolling Revillame and/or Wowowee. These will be complete with soft music and highly emotional spiels that are keyed to win the sympathy of their televiewers. ABS-CBN are experts at this.

When all is clear, Revillame will come back. Yet, as sure as the the sun rises everyday, he’ll find himself in trouble again. This is because his arrogance will emerge anew.

Then the cycle will turn again.

(note: I have nothing to do with those who made the video featured below. I feature it to show the extent of how lovingly "Kapamilya" Revillame is.)
